I have a '02 HD with stock supercharged engine and I average about 11-12 mpg city no matter if I drive aggressive or not. The stock 00-01 HD's do not have supercharger so they will more than likely have better fuel mileage. Also the supercharged HD's (02-03's) only use premium gas so consider how much more you'll be paying with the gas prices in your area between the regular gas for 00-01 and premium for 02-03 HD's. On average I pay around $40 a week or more to fill up with modest driving for work and running around town.

Nash81,
The gas consumption depends on what kind of traveling your gonna do, and like stated before me which truck you pick. I live in NM at an elevation of 6700 ft. and I travel about 30 miles to the nearest town so I do a lot of highway miles and I get 15-17mpg. Ohh and im not very easy on the gas either, the sound of the supercharger is awesome. I own an 02 DSG HD, well happy and buying and keep us informed with what you purchase.

TTYL Josh.

I just traded mine in because the price of gas is getting to much and I just don't want to pay for it anymore. This was not the only reason though.

She is going back to the dealer today
